This provided a way to quantify drug use and sociodemographics and assess the accuracy of drug survey techniques. The data show the expected regional, sub-regional and temporal patterns of illicit drug use, such as more MDMA consumed on the weekends than during the week. The key take home messages is that, in combination with complementary data like censuses, surveys and seizure information, wastewater analysis can help guide harm reduction policy for the wellbeing of New Zealand. Reducing the MRI outpatient waiting list through a capacity and demand time series improvement programme Heera Bhullar, Bernadette County, Stuart Barnard, Anne Anderson, Mary E Seddon A partnership between Ko Awatea and the radiology department at Counties Manukau District Health Board aimed to match the demand for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) with the available capacity. Using quality improvement techniques, the team successfully and sustainably reduced the MRI waiting list over a two-year period, reducing the number of patients waiting from nearly 2,000 to just over 400. The innovative solutions to segment the waiting list and match capacity to demand may be instructive for other radiology depart- ments, and other waiting list scenarios. Does research help to inform a district health board’s purpose? A qualitative thematic analysis of clinician researcher views Lorraine Neave, Duncan Reid, Brian McKenna This study explored, from a district health board (DHB) staff perspective, what the enablers and barriers to doing research were and whether the outcomes of research activity helped it deliver best care. It has provided insight into how organisational factors can negatively influence engagement in and with research and thereby impact the potential for research to inform the DHB’s overarching purpose. These factors are all modifiable influences. The themes offer a direction for the DHB’s future research strategy, where research activity is integrated into practice, where research evidence is discussed and where research achieve- ments are celebrated. The findings from this study will likely resonate across New Zealand’s DHB landscape. How common are non-acute coronary syndrome (ACS) diagnoses in patients with suspected ACS investigated with coronary angiography in New Zealand? (ANZACS-QI 58) Charles Yao-Cheng Ho, Mildred Lee, Seif El-Jack, Peter Barr, Mark Simmonds, Gerry Devlin, Philip D Adamson, Michael Williams, Andrew J Kerr Falsely activated coronary catheter laboratories for acute ST elevation heart attacks are low in New Zealand. Non-ACS conditions receiving invasive coronary angiography varies between DHBs requires more investigation. NZMJ 25 June 2021, Vol 134 No 1537 ISSN 1175-8716 © NZMA 5 www.nzma.org.nz/journal SUMMARIES Antipsychotic and sedative medication use in long-term care facilities providing dementia care Etuini Ma’u, Janine Burton, Elizabeth Fussell This study aimed to quantify the use of antipsychotic and sedative medications in residents with dementia in long-term care facilities in the Waikato and identify factors associated with the prescription of these medications. Despite the increasing evidence around the relatively poor efficacy and increased risks associated with antipsychotic and sedative prescription in individuals with dementia, this study shows the use of these medications in dementia care and psychogeriatric facilities remains high, with 48.2% of residents in this study currently prescribed an antipsychotic and 22.1% prescribed a sedative. Furthermore, less than 20% of those prescribed an antipsychotic or a sedative had the most recent dose change occur within the 12 weeks recommended by guidelines, with over 30% of those prescribed an anti- psychotic and 48% of those prescribed a sedative not having their dose adjusted for over a year. With clear evidence of the risks of antipsychotics in dementia, the proportion of resi- dents prescribed an antipsychotic or sedative in this study, in conjunction with the prolonged duration of prescription, is cause for concern and needs addressing.

Watts Thinking Center for Strategic Smarter and Budgetary Assessments About Defense www.csbaonline.org Six Decades of Guided Munitions and Battle Networks: Progress and Prospects by Barry D. Watts Center for Strategic and Budgetary Assessments March 2007 ABOUT THE CENTER FOR STRATEGIC AND BUDGETARY ASSESSMENTS The Center for Strategic and Budgetary Assessments (CSBA) is an independent, nonprofit, public policy research institute established to make clear the inextricable link between near-term and long- range military planning and defense investment strategies. CSBA is directed by Dr. Andrew F. Krepinevich and funded by foundations, corporations, government, and individual grants and contributions. This report is one in a series of CSBA analyses on the emerging military revolution. Previous reports in this series include The Military-Technical Revolution: A Preliminary Assessment (2002), Meeting the Anti-Access and Area-Denial Challenge (2003), and The Revolution in War (2004). The first of these, on the military-technical revolution, reproduces the 1992 Pentagon assessment that precipitated the 1990s debate in the United States and abroad over revolutions in military affairs. Many friends and professional colleagues, both within CSBA and outside the Center, have contributed to this report. Those who made the most substantial improvements to the final manuscript are acknowledged below. However, the analysis and findings are solely the responsibility of the author and CSBA. 1667 K Street, NW, Suite 900 Washington, DC 20036 (202) 331-7990 CONTENTS ACKNOWLEGEMENTS .................................................. v SUMMARY ............................................................... ix GLOSSARY ………………………………………………………xix I.

  • INFORMATION to USERS Xerox University Microfilms
    INFORMATION TO USERS This material was produced from a microfilm copy of the original document. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of die original submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or patterns which may appear on this reproduction. 1.The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Paga(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting thru an image and duplicating adjacent pages to insure you complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a large round black mark, it is an indication that the photographer suspected that the copy may have moved during exposure and thus cause a blurred image. You will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., was part of the material being photographed the photographer followed a definite method in "sectioning" the material. It is customary to begin photoing at the upper left hand corner of a large dieet and to continue photoing from left to right in equal sections with a small overlap. If necessary, sectioning is continued again — beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. The majority of users indicate that the textual content is of greatest value, however, a somewhat higher quality reproduction could be made from "photographs" if essential to the understanding of the dissertation.

  • Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (Pahs) and to Emphasize the Human Health Effects That May Result from Exposure to Them
    TOXICOLOGICAL PROFILE FOR POLYCYCLIC AROMATIC HYDROCARBONS U.S. DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES Public Health Service Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry August 1995 PAHs ii DISCLAIMER The use of company or product name(s) is for identification only and does not imply endorsement by the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry. PAHs iii UPDATE STATEMENT A Toxicological Profile for Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons was released in December 1990. This edition supersedes any previously released draft or final profile. Toxicological profiles are revised and republished as necessary, but no less than once every three years. For information regarding the update status of previously released profiles, contact ATSDR at: Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry Division of Toxicology/Toxicology Information Branch 1600 Clifton Road NE, E-29 Atlanta, Georgia 30333 PAHs 1 1. PUBLIC HEALTH STATEMENT This statement was prepared to give you information about polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and to emphasize the human health effects that may result from exposure to them. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has identified 1,408 hazardous waste sites as the most serious in the nation. These sites make up the National Priorities List (NPL) and are the sites targeted for long-term federal clean-up activities. PAHs have been found in at least 600 of the sites on the NPL. However, the number of NPL sites evaluated for PAHs is not known. As EPA evaluates more sites, the number of sites at which PAHs are found may increase. This information is important because exposure to PAHs may cause harmful health effects and because these sites are potential or actual sources of human exposure to PAHs.

CDT, MONDAY, JUNE 14, 2021 UNIVERSITY SEAL AND MOTTO Soon after Northwestern University was founded, its Board of Trustees adopted an official corporate seal. This seal, approved on June 26, 1856, consisted of an open book surrounded by rays of light and circled by the words North western University, Evanston, Illinois. Thirty years later Daniel Bonbright, professor of Latin and a member of Northwestern’s original faculty, redesigned the seal, Whatsoever things are true, retaining the book and light rays and adding two quotations. whatsoever things are honest, On the pages of the open book he placed a Greek quotation from the Gospel of John, chapter 1, verse 14, translating to The Word . whatsoever things are just, full of grace and truth. Circling the book are the first three whatsoever things are pure, words, in Latin, of the University motto: Quaecumque sunt vera whatsoever things are lovely, (What soever things are true). The outer border of the seal carries the name of the University and the date of its founding. This seal, whatsoever things are of good report; which remains Northwestern’s official signature, was approved by if there be any virtue, the Board of Trustees on December 5, 1890. and if there be any praise, The full text of the University motto, adopted on June 17, 1890, is think on these things. from the Epistle of Paul the Apostle to the Philippians, chapter 4, verse 8 (King James Version).

As for Roswell, it occurred, but not like the story books tell. There were two crash sites. One southwest of Corona, New Mexico and the second site at Pelona Peak, south of Datil, New Mexico. The crash involved two extraterrestrial aircraft. The Corona site was found a day later by an archaeology team. This team reported the crash site to the Lincoln County Sheriff's department. A deputy arrived the next day and summoned a state police officer. One live entity [EBE] was found hiding behind a rock. The entity was given water but declined food. The entity was later transferred to Los Alamos. The information eventually went to Roswell Army Air Field. The site was examined and all evidence was removed. The bodies were taken to Los Alamos National Laboratory because they had a freezing system that allowed the bodies to remain frozen for research.
